What model number is the Galaxy A6?
A real Samsung Galaxy A6 reports SM-A600A or SM-A600AZ or SM-A600F or SM-A600FN. In Chrome, Phone Checker reads it from the phone itself, so a copy can't hide behind Settings.
How much RAM does the Galaxy A6 have?
At least 3 GB in the smallest version sold. A copy often has less, whatever its Settings say.
Which Android versions does the Galaxy A6 run?
It came with Android 8. A version older than 8 means a different phone.

Open ogphonechecker.com on the phone itself and tap Check this phone. In about 20 seconds it compares the model code, graphics chip, RAM and screen with a real Galaxy A6, for free.
